A REFLECTIVE POEM

1.jpg.scaled.500 5.jpg.scaled.500

At a certain age an odd thing happens when you pass a mirror
Well really two things happen which is even queerer
The reflection is a stranger which is really out of whack
And the mirror at that moment develops a large crack.

Match of the Day

Wrong end

    Would that certain age be, say, 42?

    Unless you are a vampire
    or someone of that type
    When the looking glass
    does not reveal
    that you’re really rather ripe

    I simply love the photos. The first one simply jumped out at me… and gave me a smile for my own special reason.

    Thanks.

    Just because of that… I might have to allow you an extra towel and spittoon over at the fraccery. ;-)

    Thanks. Hugs are always appreciated. (That’s when I slip the gingernuts into your pockets… didn’t you wonder how they got there?)
